About this listen
Laugh till you cry in this new collection of stories from the “Serena Williams of humor writing” (New York Times Book Review) about raising babies and trying to learn how not to be one.
Called a “comedic Godsend” by Conan O’Brien, and “the Stephen King of comedy writing” by John Mulaney, Simon Rich is back with New Teeth, his funniest and most personal collection yet.
Two murderous pirates find a child stowaway on board and attempt to balance pillaging with co-parenting. A woman raised by wolves prepares for her parents’ annual Thanksgiving visit. An aging mutant superhero is forced to learn humility when the mayor kicks him upstairs to a desk job. And in the hard-boiled caper “The Big Nap”, a weary two-year-old detective struggles to make sense of “a world gone mad”.
Equal parts silly and sincere, New Teeth is an ode to growing up, growing older, and what it means to make a family.

Story
In "Center of the Universe", God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend. In "Magical Mr. Goat", a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become more than friends. In "Unprotected", an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new audiobook are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications--losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it--and turns the ordinary into the absurd.

Taylor is the name, John Taylor. My card says I'm a detective, but what I really am is an expert on finding lost things. It's part of the gift I was born with as a child of the Nightside. I left there a long time ago, with my skin and sanity barely intact. Now I make my living in the sunlit streets of London. But business has been slow lately, so when Joanna Barrett showed up at my door, reeking of wealth, asking me to find her runaway teenage daughter, I didn't say no.

Story
Summer, 1976. Jesse and his brother, Edgar, are on the road in search of victims. They’re rovers, nearly indestructible nocturnal beings who must consume human blood in order to survive. For 70 years they’ve lurked on the fringes of society, roaming from town to town, dingy motel to dingy motel, stalking the transients, addicts, and prostitutes they feed on. This hard-boiled supernatural hell ride kicks off when the brothers encounter a young woman who disrupts their grim routine.

In her heartbreak, Laurie resolved to make her mother’s dream her own.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Critic reviews
"Rich presents parody, absurdity, observational wit, the sudden shift in a familiar premise, and a surprising touch of sweetness and charm throughout.... [New Teeth is] so consistently funny, so exceptional in its imaginative use of parody as to be near genius. A fertile mind provides many smiles in this entertaining collection - and more than a few out-loud laughs." (Kirkus, starred review)

Hilarious, Heartwarming and Heartbreaking
Fantastic set of short stories, must listen for any parent or future parent. I could not stop laughing then crying then laughing again at every story. So stupid and silly but also so heavy and thought provoking.
Performance by the reader was also really great and could have ruined the stories if he did not understand the beats, which I think he did a great job of hitting.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Comedy is a serious business.
A collection of short stories, NEW TEETH ranges from bittersweet to damn!! Each chapter asks the question, "What If?"
Sometimes poignant, "Raised by wolves," to sketch material, "Tips for Parenting", and "Clobbo." Simon Rich has the skill to deliver.

Super silly, but fun!
Super silly, but fun! Definitely need to put your 'taking things too seriously' attitude aside. Fred Berman was did a great job as narrator.

This Deserves Better Reviews
This is a great escape in a world full of unchecked tradition. I love its serious silliness.

Oh. My. God. This is amazing
Heard Simon's interview on Conan's podcast. Bought it that day. All the short stories are great, but "The Big Nap" is seriously one of the best AND funniest short stories I have EVER heard. I've listened to that short story 3 times so far and I bought it yesterday. Glorious comedy. As a comedy writer myself, it's nice to see someone so talented do so very very well. Huzzah!

Impossible to Categorize
What a delicious grab bag of the sublime and the ridiculous. A story may rest on a corny joke, a superhero past his prime, or a psychological examination of the doctor who is jealous of the attention his wife pays to the “Elephant Man.” Yes. There are real historical figures in here. I could never predict what kind of story would come next: hilarity, horror, a blasphemous or ridiculous moment in the life of Babe Ruth, a girl who was raised by wolves dreads their visit with her “normal” family for Thanksgiving. I especially love the quite serious advice on how to handle the “REAL monster problem” when you talk to your children. But what can I say overall?
About 60% of the stories really work. I laughed out loud. I admired the author’s inventiveness. I recommend to anyone who loved the first five+ years of Saturday Night Live.
